The All Japan Council of July 1882 was presided by the bishop St
Nikolai of Japan. A delegation from Beijing, who arrived on June 17/29,
was also present. The delegation included the priest St Mitrophan
(Metrophanes) and Archimandrite Flavian, and two fellow Chinese
Orthodox readers Sts Pavel (Paul) and Evmeny (Eumenus) who were later
martyred in Beijing by the Yihetuan Uprising of 1900.
